Getting that degree and the mandatory training is FAR more work than a few months of leet code grinding. The leet code thing really really sucks. But it is light years easier than and less tedious than the hoops you need to jump through to become a physician, let alone a surgeon. A more comparable comparison would be if literally every programming job required that you passed multiple algorithm tests, some of which took years to study for, before you could even apply.
